Common eco-friendly materials for drawstring bags include non-woven fabric, cotton, nylon (part eco-friendly) and polyester fiber (part recyclable). Here's how to clean drawstring bags of different materials:
I. Common green materials
Nonwoven cloth: nonwoven cloth has the characteristics of environmental protection, breathability, flexibility, lightweight, etc.. It is simple to manufacture, easy to print, and is often used in advertising.
Cotton Hemp: Made from a blend of cotton hemp, it has good breathability, moisture absorption and biodegradability. It breaks down quickly in the natural environment and does not cause white pollution.
Nylon: part of nylon material can be recycled, made of environmental protection drawstring bag, abrasion resistance, water resistance and other properties.
Polyester fiber: Some polyester fibers can be recycled from plastic bottles into recyclable drawstring bags that are wrinkle resistance and abrasion resistance.
II. Method of cleaning different material drawstring bags
Nonwoven drawstring bags:
How to clean: hand washing is recommended due to the fragility of non-woven fabrics. rub gently with warm water and a neutral detergent. Avoid using brushes or vigorous scrubbing to prevent damage.
Drying Method: Flat drying, to avoid direct sunlight, to prevent material aging.
Cotton/Linen Drawstring Bags:
How to Washing: Add a little neutral detergent in warm or cold water, soak for a while, then gently wipe and rinse. Avoid prolonged soaking and wash with other cotton materials to prevent fading.
Drying Method: Lay out to dry, avoid wringing out, avoid direct sunlight. Ironing temperature should not be too high, it is best to cover a white cloth to maintain bright colors.
Special treatment: Faded black linen with a dash of strong tea or coffee in the water to fix the colour; stained linen with two beers in clean water to brighten the fabric.
Nylon Drawstring Bags:
Wash: Use warm water (up to 30°C) and neutral detergent, avoiding bleach or bleach solution. For stubborn stains, use a toothbrush or laundry brush and gently scrub with diluted detergent.
Drying Method: Dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying to prevent material from deforming or fading.
Caution: Nylon material can contract when exposed to warm or hot water, which may cause the printing or thermal pressure design to fall off or rise. Therefore, pay special attention to water temperature when cleaning.
Polyester Fiber Drawstring Bag:
How to wash: Use neutral detergent or polyester fibers specific detergent according to the care label. Hand or machine wash in a gentle cycle. Avoid washing clothes with fabric softener, bleach or other chemicals.
Drying Method: Avoid direct sunlight and choose a well-ventilated place to dry. Pat the clothes to remove excess moisture as they dry.
Note: Polyester fiber fabric has good heat resistance, but high temperature will still cause shrinkage and fade. Therefore, choose the appropriate water temperature to wash.
